Chapter 2082: Underground Lake
Standing in this position, you can feel a cold breath.
He carefully used a flashlight to explore downwards. The further he went down, the more he felt that the temperature inside the darkroom was lower than outside.
Moreover, it was mixed with some damp moisture, as if walking in mist. After walking for a while, Lin Ran felt that his hair was already wet.
"Is there no poisonous gas in here?" Wang Jinpeng asked with lingering fear.
Lin Ran was noncommittal, and he didn't know the answer.
If they had known there might be poisonous gas, they should have prepared gas masks.
But now there is no way out, they can only move forward.
There were only more than 20 steps, and a stone appeared in front of them, blocking the way.
However, this stone is somewhat like a screen and can be bypassed from the side.
Behind the stone is a huge space.
No wonder there is such heavy moisture.
It turned out that right behind the stone, there was a huge pool, more precisely, it looked like an underground lake.
The area is very wide, but unlike the underground river, it is very calm, like a pool of stagnant water.
After getting closer, I could smell a disgusting smell.
"Don't touch this water." Lin Ran could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the water quality. Even if it wasn't the source of the black mist, there must be a lot of bacteria in it.
He raised his flashlight and turned around to check the environment inside the cave.
Unexpectedly, there were some lamps on the stone wall.
Looking closer, the lamp was very wet and obviously could not be lit.
"what!"
While Lin Ran was checking the situation inside the cave, Wang Jinpeng suddenly shouted, startling the others.
Huang Hao couldn't help but cursed: "Fat man, why are you scaring us!"
"I didn't scare you, look over there!" Wang Jinpeng's eyes widened and he slowly shined the flashlight across the pool.
Following the light of the flashlight, they actually saw a man sitting alone on the other side of the pool, with his back to everyone.
"Are they pottery figurines?" Liu Jingfeng was also startled when he saw someone.
In the dark underground lake, there is a person sitting in the darkness, which is weird no matter how you think about it.
After the flashlight's light passed, he didn't react, so he thought it must be a pottery figurine.
Lin Ran explored the surrounding area and could go around it.
They held flashlights and slowly approached the people on the other side of the lake.
Wang Jinpeng was still mumbling: "Why are there pottery figurines here?"
Many of the pottery figurines they have seen are very similar to real people.
However, most of the pottery figurines are clustered together, and single pottery figurines are very rare.
As they slowly got closer, they gradually realized something was wrong.
This is not a pottery figurine, but a person, already but already dead.
His eye sockets were sunken, and the flesh on his face was extremely dry, shrinking tightly and wrapping around the bones.
The original appearance of the clothes on his body could no longer be seen clearly, and there was a layer of black liquid attached to them.
The putrid smell emanated from him.
"Ugh." Wang Jinpeng suddenly felt nauseous.
It's not like he has never opened a coffin before, but the corpse inside is often very well preserved and will not rot like this.
The corpse in front of him gave people a disgusting and terrifying aura of death.
Lin Ran also felt nervous and used a flashlight to examine the body.
The fact that he didn't turn into a skeleton means that he probably hasn't been dead for a long time.
Moist environments are often the best places for scavengers to survive.
"Brother Lin, be careful." Xu Ning looked at the body worriedly.
He was afraid that the corpse would suddenly turn his eyes, which no longer had black eyes. It was not difficult to understand what would happen to this kind of ghost place.
Lin Ran was not afraid of his transformation. He looked at this man sitting against the stone, looking very calm.
Examination of his bones showed no obvious trauma.
Lin Ran was a little confused about the cause of his death, but since he was not a forensic doctor, he could only make a rough judgment.
"Okay, stop looking." Liu Jingfeng knew that Lin Ran might want to study the corpse, but the complex environment they were in now was not suitable for slow study.
"Yeah." Lin Ran nodded and stood up straight.
They continued walking until they reached the end of the road.
It turned out to be a dead end.
"Strange, there is no road?" They walked all the way without encountering a fork in the road.
If this was also a dead end, then they might be trapped and die here.
"Maybe those strange fish have receded, how about we go back?" Even the brave Wang Jinpeng felt that he could not stay any longer at this moment.
This cave is filled with weirdness and the smell of death.
After looking around, it was already a sealed cave. There were no mechanisms or natural caves in sight. It should be a dead end.
The group of them had no choice but to return to the previous waterhole.
Wang Jinpeng looked at the corpse and sighed: "Is he trapped in this underground world like us?"
His words inevitably undermined the confidence of others.
Indeed, if the way back is still blocked by strange fish, they may choose a quiet place to wait for death slowly, just like Zhi Zhi.
Lin Ran stood next to the underground lake, looking at this man's movements and feeling a little strange.
He looked like he had just stepped out of the lake.
Could it be that, as Wang Jinpeng said, he wanted to go into the water because of despair, but chose to regret it at the last moment and return to the shore?
No obvious trauma could be seen on his body, and there were no signs of poisoning.
The cause of his death was a bit strange.
Lin Ran did not ask everyone to leave in a hurry, but came to the side of the underground lake.
He took a flashlight and shined it towards the underground lake.
As a result, he actually saw a different scene.
It's steps!
One level after another, the underground steps seem to lead somewhere.
Lin Ran suddenly felt enlightened.
Why did the owner of this tomb build a lake underground?
The lake is not as flowing as the underground river outside. It has not been injected with fresh water for a long time and has become rancid.
However, because of the closed environment here, you can't see any bugs. The lake water is a bit dirty, but you can still see the scene below clearly.
Lin Ran called the others to him and showed them the steps under the lake.
In an instant, Liu Jingfeng understood what he meant.
"Is there a secret passage down there?"
Lin Ran nodded silently. Something incredible might have happened in this ancient tomb.
The lake in front of me actually has a secret passage underneath.
The steps below were obviously artificially built, but the lake was still quite deep, and they couldn't see what was going on under the steps.
In a desperate situation with no way to return, he felt that there might be a way out below.
But this suggestion made Wang Jinpeng frown.
"This lake should be about 10m deep."
